Books in the Oxford Series in Clinical Psychology series

This book is a result of a Task Force aimed at identifying empirically-based principles of therapeutic change that recognize the role of technical procedures, relationship variables, as well as client and therapist characteristics. These principles were derived for four problem areas: depression, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and substance abuse disorders.

This book integrates the role of gender in girls' and women's development across the life span, looking specifically at internal and external vulnerabilities and risks, and the protective or supportive factors that facilitate effective coping, positive growth, strength, and resilience.
